We have a support team ready to assist you with the finer points of correctly setting up your artwork for printing. We can either give you the instructions you need, or accept your files and perform the necessary pre-press production work. 

PDF files have become the industry standard for print files. Just about every pro-level design application has the option of saving, or exporting, your artwork in the PDF file format. When saving PDF files, choose an option that is 'high-resolution' or 'press-ready'. It is not necessary to select a color profile. Our printing process converts all files to the necessary CMYK profile before printing.

During the printing and finishing process, it is normal for there to be slight variances when cards are trimmed to their final size. Therefore, you should add 'bleed' to your artwork when there are elements that reach the edge of the card. The Bleed Area should extend past the trim dimensions by .125" on all four sides. For example, 4x6" postcard art with Bleed Area has a final image area of 4.25x6.25". Many design applications provide options for setting the bleeds of your document separately, and you'll need to specify that you want to include bleeds when you save your PDFs. If you are working in an image application like Photoshop, you should set your document size so that it includes the Bleed Area.

The Safe Area is used to describe an area .125" within the trim on all four sides. This is the area where it is safe to place critical design elements like logos and text that you don't want to appear too close to the edge of the card when finished.

When uploading your artwork to your order, you will see a preview that displays your artwork within the Bleed and Safe Areas.

If you've been a customer with us previously, you may have downloaded and used our template files. While you can certainly still use those template files for preparing your artwork, they are no longer required. Our latest proofing system displays your artwork with Bleed, Trim and Safe Areas indicated so that you can confirm your artwork is properly sized. If you would like use our legacy templates, here are links to download them for each major design application: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop

How to design for letterpress:

• Your artwork should be set up using only black ink.

• Line weights should be .65pt or greater.

• Avoid using fonts with extremely thin hair lines at a small size (e.g. Bodoni).

• Shy away from heavy-coverage areas. Text and line art is ideal and looks best for letterpress.

Our recommended CMYK color mix for rich black is: C 40%  M 30% Y 20% K 100%
